As an educator, what do you feel when you watch this video?


Think about it. . .

If you could add another

attribute to the IB learner

profile, what would it be?


The aim of all IB programmes is to develop internationally minded people who,

recognizing their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet, help to

create a better and more peaceful world.


The beginnings...

“ Each of the three IB programmes had a different

provenance. None had been designed with the others

in mind, so there was a job to be done in making them

internally consistent and logically contiguous.

The result was a crucial publication entitled The IB

learner profile, which lists ten characteristics. . . that

distinguish the internationally minded person.”

George Walker, “Introduction: Past, present and future”

The Changing Face of International Education: Challenges for the IB (2011:8)

IB learner profile

Review starting

The learner profile in review

IB curriculum, including the IB learner profile, exists in

a formal review cycle that reflects an ongoing

commitment to collaboration and continual

improvement.

This first continuum-wide review aims to respect

schools’ investment in the learner profile as it exists

now, while remaining open to the possibility of

change.
